If you want the performance and quality of the Surface Pro but can't afford the price, Eve-Tech may have a solution. The EVE V is their 2-in-1 that is pretty impressive and considering it has four USB ports it has certain advantages over some of the competition. It has a high-quality screen, and is really a Surface Pro clone that is priced very similar but there are more features and accessories with the EVE V. I think that the price would have to be a lot lower in order to take any market share, but it's a nice idea.

At the high end, an i7 Eve V with 512GB of storage and 16GB of RAM is $1,499 versus the Surface Pro’s $2,199, again without the keyboard and pen; bumping the Eve V up to 1TB of storage costs an extra $400, and it’s $500 for the Surface Pro. You could be saving close to $1,000 with the i7 Eve V, but again, the Y-series processor is less powerful than the U-series in the Surface Pro. Still, the trade-off in price and power consumption may well be worth it for you.
